"Furuhata Rensaburo is the name of the protagonist of this play, and his identity is a detective from the Metropolitan Police Investigation Division. His catchphrases are: [There is no real perfect crime in the world] and [Criminals committed in front of me are like performing magic tricks in front of a magician]

】.』

"Each episode has one episode and is an independent chapter. Each episode adopts a fixed narrative rhythm, that is, against a black background, the protagonist appears and introduces the opening remarks of the incident, and uses flashback to reveal the circumstances of the prisoner's crime."

"Flashback reasoning?" Shibasaki Hideaki couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Fujiwara Kei nodded and looked at Shibasaki Hideaki, "It seems that Shibasaki-kun also knows a lot about reasoning."

Shibazaki Hideaki said with a smile: "I often watched the "Detective Colin" series when I was a teenager."

"Detective Colin" is a well-known American mystery drama in the world, which uses flashback reasoning.

Kei Fujiwara originally wanted to make "Furuhata Jinsaburo" the world's first flashback mystery work? As a result, after careful investigation, I found out that flashback mystery works in this world have long appeared. It seems that you can't always drink the soup.

But what makes him happy is that in the field of Japanese dramas, flashback reasoning is still blank. Moreover, Fujiwara Kei has watched some of the Japanese mystery dramas in this world during this period, and feels that the quality is mediocre and not as good as "Furuhata Jinsaburo", but the ratings

The rate is pretty good.

It can be seen that the audience here likes mystery dramas, which also strengthened his confidence to use "Furuhata Jinsaburo" to conquer "Moon Nine".

What's more, with his status as a mystery writer, this drama was able to gain a certain amount of attention when it first aired.

"This drama is indeed similar to "Detective Colin" in some aspects, but the difference is that it has an extra opening, in which Furahata Rensaburo will introduce something or other related to the case."

"Also, during the pre-breaking plot of each episode, the protagonist once again performs a monologue to give the audience tips for solving the mystery. After he finishes saying "I am Furahata Jinsaburo", it goes to commercial again."

"Although there are many mystery dramas in Japanese dramas, flashback reasoning is a rare form, so it cannot be filmed with conventional ideas. Compared with traditional mystery stories, it focuses on the identity of the murderer, the murderer's methods, and the murderer's motives.

, the biggest suspense of this drama is not on the murderer, but on the detective - that is, it focuses on the detective's method of catching the murderer."

"So this drama will give the audience a brand new experience. We do not hide the identity of the murderer, and we do not use the murderer's tactics to interest the audience. Instead, we use the detective's pursuit of the murderer to arouse the audience's interest."

With that said, Kei Fujiwara handed over the printed script of the first episode.

"Director Shibasaki, in order to ensure the style of this drama, please continue filming according to the original rhythm of the script, please." Keimichi Fujiwara.

The director is actually qualified to modify the script to a certain extent. Of course, the screenwriter can also object. If the screenwriter is a strong screenwriter, he can even force the supervisor to film according to his own ideas.

But Kei Fujiwara does not intend to rule with an iron fist. Filming a program is not writing, and it is easy to get yourself killed by always talking. So if Hideaki Shibasaki has a different idea and plans to modify the script, Kei Fujiwara is willing to make certain changes.

concession.

But Kei Fujiwara felt it was not necessary. The scripts he produced were all extremely mature, and the final version had been successful in the parallel world. Moreover, "Furuhata Jinsaburo" was released in the parallel world in 1994, which is similar to the current time.

Don’t worry about the audience not being able to accept it. If you make further modifications, unnecessary risks will inevitably be added.

But after Shibasaki Hideaki read the script carefully, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: As expected of a mystery writer, it's really remarkable. This script is very interesting.

If he only shoots according to the rhythm of the script, based on his experience as a director, there will be no problem at all.

"In order to attract the audience, another feature of this drama is the actor who plays the murderer." Kei Fujiwara said, "In each episode, we have to ask a well-known celebrity to play the murderer, so that the audience can recognize it at a glance and know:

Oh, this is the one who plays the murderer in this episode."

"The person who plays the murderer can be from any profession, no matter how

It must be an actor, singer, comic, or athlete, as long as you are famous enough." Kei Fujiwara suddenly said a little embarrassedly, "Of course, I can also guest star in an episode."

"Fujiwara, I can't afford your salary." Yui Mizuhara frowned.

"Please apply to the station again. After all, actors are very important."

Mizuhara Yui spread her hands.

"As for the lead actor of this drama, the person who plays Furuhata Jinsaburo should be a mature actor. His age range should be between 40 and 50 years old. The image should be good enough. It is best to be an idol when he is young and become an idol when he is old.

He has just transformed into a powerful actor. If he is the kind of actor who can give people a sense of elegance, then this is in line with the other name of this show - "Gentleman Detective"."

"I have several actors to choose from. You can refer to them. If you have suitable candidates, you can also ask them to come to the company for an audition."

As he spoke, Kei Fujiwara suggested several names and handed out the personal information of these people.

These people are all well-known actors in Japan, and they are all in their forties. For ordinary people, this age group may be very bad - physical function declines, health problems occur frequently, marital relationships have cracks, and children have also arrived.

During the rebellious period, in the current economic downturn, you may still face a crisis of layoffs, but it will still be a long time before you get your pension. It can be said to be the moment when all kinds of mid-life crises erupt.

But for an actor in this era, it can be said that he is in his prime. If he is still active in the entertainment industry at this age, his status in the industry must be very high.

Moreover, he has a wide range of roles. He can play a tough guy hunting down thieves, or he can play an intimate uncle falling in love with a young girl. Taiga drama, which is at the top of the contempt chain of Japanese dramas, also mostly uses actors of this age group to play the main roles.

Several people looked at the actor information and discussed how to choose among them. Fujiwara Kei was selected according to Tamura Masakazu's template. They are all handsome men. Some of them were popular among thousands of girls when they were young. There are also

When some of them announced their marriage, girls jumped over the stairs for them.

It can only be said that there are groupies in every era, and they are all equally crazy.

After some discussion, everyone selected an actor named Maya Teruo.

Mayaru Teruo was born into an acting family. His father was also a famous film actor. He also started acting when he was 20 years old. After he turned 40, he often played the role of a charming uncle on the screen. He won the Student Award in June this year.

Just won the Best Actor Award.

There are still several actors to choose from, and Yui Mizuhara plans to contact them one by one.

The approval of "Furuhata Shinsaburo" was quickly passed, and the filming budget in the station was also allocated. Fujiwara Kei handed over the scripts for the first three episodes to Shibasaki Hideaki, and the storyboard scripts began to be urgently created.

After the audition actors received the invitation and heard that it was Sima Keita's new mystery work, they all accepted the invitation.

Compared with "The Lonely Gourmet", a niche late-night food drama, Taiwanese fans are even more excited about "Furuhata Jinsaburo". After all, this is Kei Fujiwara's specialty. As long as he can perform stably, the ratings will not be low.

.

Even before the TV series was launched, the station began to carry out promotional work. The entertainment section of "Daily Economic News" published the news that Sima Keita's new mystery work was about to be launched.

"Genius writer Shiba Keita's first mystery drama is about to start filming, so stay tuned!"

A handsome profile photo of Kei Fujiwara was published in the newspaper.

However, after this news was published, it not only failed to meet the audience's expectations, but also attracted a lot of doubts and even negative comments.
